§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Defence when the Royal Herbert hospital, Woolwich, ceased to provide health care facilities; what is the annual cost of maintaining the buildings; and when he expects to reach a decision about their future use.
§ Mr. HayhoeThe Royal Herbert hospital ceased providing health care facilities in July 1977. Since the last occupants276W left in May 1978, the level of maintenance has been reduced to that consistent with the need to protect the fabric of the buildings against the effects of the weather. The annual cost of this is estimated at £5,000. A decision will be announced as soon as possible.
